dragoncon_lj_archiveI want everyone who has responded to these thread about "Ideas for next year" to actually come volunteer. Please!
What makes you all think we have not thought of all of these ideas?? And you know what will make these ideas a success??? People!!! We need volunteers!!
Only half of the people that we had badges for in Security showed up to volunteer. So we were severely short-handed!!
We work the long hours because no one else is willing to work the basic 25, so everyone has to pick up the slack.
We had many of our volunteers able to "work" the panels they wanted to and were able to see the panel up close! They didn't have to stand in line for 4+ hours for registration. Nor did they have to stand in line for 2 hours to see a panel like Stan Lee but was able to watch it up close!
If we had a full staff, no one would have to work 8-10 hours day!

Date: 2010-09-12 11:12 pm (UTC)I don't think it will do much good - but I happen to *like* dragoncon, and I would like to attend in 2011. I just don't plan to do so if I end up spending the first day of the con either fetching my badge or recovering from getting my badge. I'm not kidding when I say I was so physically messed up, I wasn't able to do anything until 7pm... and I'm not a night owl or a partier so basically I missed an entire day of the con because of the line.
